In this video, I show you an easy way to trim out a window. The method that I used is called picture framing. I used a 2 1/2" colonial casing that you can find at your local home improvement store or lumber yard.

  • I genuinely love how you talk to the audience like we don't know what to do/how to do it, but not like we are dumb. You actually explain things in a way that makes sense. You are better than 99% of the teachers I've had.
  • I felt that "oh crap" feeling when the nail shot through the wood. That's the kind of thing that happens to me all the time. Your 45s turned out really good, nice fit. Great video as always.

    I may never frame a window, but it was interesting to watch. I love learning how things are done.

    Nice job. It’s good to see someone who knows how to do the job the right way. Some videos I’ve seen, the guy is clueless. But the problem is that people are telling them what a good job and don’t know the difference.
  • @stephmo371
    When the nail blew out the face of the trim i really felt your pain. Trim overall looks good though
  • @jaynouby
    What you have done so far to this old house is really phenomenal

    I really like those window ‘frames’. We don’t generally do that in the UK, but when my kitchen was done, I asked my carpenter to do this to my window and everybody loves it. 👏 Now to do all my other windows….😂 You do have a brilliant way of teaching without making watchers feel stupid.

    Finish nails always bend to the left or right from the nail driver head. If you can rotate the gun 90 degrees before nailing, that can prevent nails from coming through the finished face of the casing.
  • “Mahk the orientation” now lives rent free in my head 😂

    Liking for the Tom Silva reference. Also the screw trick is awesome
  • @carlagrs
    Great job, but the important thing is that it passed inspection by Mr Little Fixer 🥰 🧒👷‍♂️

    Simultaneous crowd arrrgggghhh as that nail popped through in the corner
  • Yes - very helpful, you make it all look so easy. I like all your helpful "tricks of the trade" since you've been doing this for some time. TY
  • @jsaysyay
    somehow i've never considered a window not having a sill, my brain just went like "oh of course its the bottom of the window which = sill" lol always explain and show so well what you're doing in each, like i could do it even though i have literally no need to put a window in
  • @BillChecovich
    Outstanding explanations and descriptions of the process. Very much appreciated.
